As per the question the uncharged pith ball is taken towards the electrostatic field of a charged rod.

It is told that the side of the pith ball is closest to the negatively charged end of the rod .

The pith ball was initially neutral.The electrons in the atom were oriented in their respective orbits.

Whenever it is taken towards the negative end of the rod,the electrons present in the ball will not stick to their orbit .Basically the closest electrons will suffer electrostatic repulsive force and will come out their orbits.They will move towards the other end of the pith ball.Hence the closest side of the pith ball will acquire  positive charges and other side will be negative.

The bound charges nearest to the charged rod is called induced positive charges and bound negative  charges present at the other end are called free bound charges.The induced charges and free charges are equal in amount.Hence the pith ball is neutral.

Hence from above we see that only option B  is right.

The correct answere is B.

Explanation: When the negative charge rod is brought close to the uncharged pith ball, the electron on side towards the rod will be repelled by the electrostatic field. This will create an electron deficient site. Hence, this side will be given a positive charge.

What is a vector?
nalin [4]

Answer:

C. A quantity with magnitude and a direction.

Explanation:

A vector can be defined as a quantity with magnitude and direction. Some examples of vector quantities are velocity, position, displacement, force, torque, acceleration.

For example, given the following data;

Time, t = 18.5secs

Final velocity = 78m/s

Initial velocity = 0

Substituting into the equation;

a = \frac{78  -  0}{18.5}

a = \frac{78}{18.5}

Acceleration, a = 4.22m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the object is 4.22m/s² due North.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

a = \frac{v  -  u}{t}

Where,

a is acceleration measured in ms^{-2}

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in ms^{-1}

t is time measured in seconds.

When using higher magnification, you need more light. which parts of the microscope can be adjusted to provide more light, and h
valina [46]

Increased lamp voltage is achieved by turning the light intensity dial.

To enlarge the diameter of the hole and let more light through the slide, the iris diaphragm was modified.

Condenser: Position it higher and closer to the slide's bottom to better direct light to the centre of the slide.

<h3>How do you adjust the light level on a microscope?</h3>

Utilize the brightness adjustment knob to change the brightness. Turn the brightness control knob while looking through the eyepieces to make sure there is no glare in the field of view.

Use a daylight balancing filter if your compound microscope has a certain sort of illumination. It typically rests directly on top of the luminator or in a filter holder above the light. This filter is blue.

The daylight balancing filter will correct the colour temperature and produce a higher-quality image if your microscope is lighted by tungsten or halogen (and a better colour image). This blue filter is not necessary if your microscope is an LED.

An Indy 500 race car's velocity increases from 4.0 m/s to +36
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The average acceleration is 8\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration </u>

When an object varies its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

The acceleration can be calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The Indy 500 race car increases its speed from vo=4 m/s to vf=36 m/s in t=4 s. Thus, the average acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{36-4}{4}=8\ m/s^2

The average acceleration is 8\ m/s^2
